3. Zepp Baseball
Swing Analyzer
The mini-sensing unit latches
onto the bottom of a bat and
transmits swing data in real
time to its accompanying
mobile app, which creates a 3D
rendering to examine bat speed
and in-zone swing percentage.
Over 2,000 swings can be stored
thanks to onboard storage.

4. RevFire Pitch
Speed and Spin
Softball Package
Pitching perfectionists caught
in the pursuit of adding more
stink to the ball can evaluate
their throwing techniques using

of reading speed, the device

the curve rotation on your
curveball.
